The amount a person will get from the Facebook settlement depends on how long they had an active Facebook account between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022. The payments are based on a point system with one point for each month of active use during this period.
- The average payment is about $29.42 to $30.
- The maximum payment is around $38.36 for users who were active for the entire 15-year period (188 months).
- The minimum payment is about $4.89 for those with 24 months of active use.
- The payment will be proportional to the duration of Facebook activity.
Payments are being sent out over a 75-day period starting in early September 2025. Eligible users received an email notification if their claim was approved, and payments are issued through various methods like PayPal, Venmo, direct deposit, prepaid Mastercard, or paper checks. If a user did not submit a claim by the August 25, 2023 deadline, they are not eligible for payment under the settlement.
